Released on the Last Action Hero movie soundtrack, this song features driving rhythms and a typical Marty Friedman solo. Allen teaches all the parts and explains some of the theory behind the song.
Taught by Allen Van Wert in Songs With Allen seriesLength: 41:01Difficulty: 3.5 of 5
For those who have problems with the solo: I play the open string section like this: 0-9-12 0-8-12 0-7-12 0-7-12 0-7-10 and so on. Don´t pick everything, use hammer ons and pull offs instead, sounds like the recording. BTW i saw Marty playing it live that way. And sorry for my english, im based in germany
What can I say dude! You ROCK!!!
As long as its Megadeth with Marty Friedman Im good with it I hate the new stuff with Broderick yuckk.. overall there are a few ok songs but nothing like the Marty Friendman era... I knew this song but never learned all the leads so I downloaded it and will look at it later.. Only thing I noticed is the Bass in the backing track sounds hmm a bit warm not quite pronounced enough but awesome Job Allen as usual ;)
Cool song.. having trouble with the solo where it is open and hammer ons... also with the speed of the solo but I'm working on it. Moar Megadeth!
I absolutely love it! This is how you teach a song. It's great to hear also some theory and not only the notes and chords which I can read from the tab. Also the explanation of how the chorus is divided between the guitars was great extra info that I'd love to hear in all lessons. Keep the coming Allen!
ah a nice challenge for me thank you man! I love the backtrack set up too.. with or with out guitar awesome!!! \m/--\m/
Finally! Some real metal... too bad i already learned this one :/

Always nice to see some Megadeth songs on here. This looked like it was a hard one to teach, but thanks for getting into specifics and dissecting the song as you did!
Hell Yeah Megadeth Rulez !!!!!! \m/
You can double that here.
Supp content is coming soon for this.
I haven't gotten past a minute on the intro riff, and it's already epic. It helps to be one of the few to see it before even a skill level is put up, I guess. Lol.

About Allen Van Wert
View Full Biography
Allen Van Wert got the nickname "ROBOT" from his unusual guitar tapping techniques that often sound like a video game more than a guitar. He has studied and played a wide variety of genres. His experimental and eclectic amalgamation of music combining shred guitar, crazy tapping techniques, and electronically infused composition contrasted by a highly emotional soft melodic side, make his debut album a really fun and interesting listen for just about anyone.
Allen has recorded guitar for the famed video game soundtrack composer Jesper Kyd (Composer of Hitman, Splinter Cell and many other big title games) as well as composing and recording for movie trailers and TV commercials. He has also been producing, recording and co-writing for local artists in his small home/project studio.
His three books on guitar technique, ear training and songwriting have helped many students over the past couple of years. Allen has also played in various cover bands in many genres since the age of 16 and has played to over 5000 on a few occasions. He was a featured guest musician on the album "West Coast Shred Fest".
In his spare time, Allen programs video games for fun. Wooo!

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

The P89V51RD2 Controller Board is designed for motorized prototyping and usage. The board's two L298 Dual Full Bridge Drivers provide an interface to DC motors and stepper motors. A power supply jack is included for powering your motors (9V DC with at least 500mA current). Two Leone SC5 6V relays (7A @ 300V AC; 10A @ 28V DC) are on the board as well.
In addition to the motor drivers and relays, this board has a DS1307 Real-Time Clock and a 24C256 EEPROM, so you can add date/time and memory features to your design. A 2-line by 16-character LCD (HD44780-compatible controller) is included so you can show messages and status.
These interfaces all are controlled by an NXP P89V51RD2 microcontroller. The P89V51RD2 is an 80C51 microcontroller with 64 kB Flash and 1024 bytes of data RAM. It can be programmed in circuit using any FlashMagic-compatible programmer, such as the EM-P-NXP (unfortunately we no longer carry that programmer separately only as part of the 8051 Advanced Trainer).
The I2C-based interfaces (RTC and EEPROM) require bit-bang I2C coding.
A pair of voltage regulators provide the system with a stable 5V supply. One regulator's output is used on the board; the other is available.
I/O pins of the P89V51RD2 microcontroller are brought out to headers, and a pack of 20 F-F wires is included.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious!"
Can't go wrong with a recommendation like that!
My OB pretty much told me the same thing when I was pregnant and pulled a muscle chasing a run away toddler "Don't do that again". Then, the next pregnancy, I had a terrible arthritis flare up. Every visit he said: "Don't do so much". I got concerned when, near the end, he expanded "Don't do so much. Take it easy". LOL.

The Scuffles of Legends (グラードンVSカイオーガ!(後編) Groudon VS Kyogre! (Part Two)) is the 6th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Battle.
Team Aqua has gained control over Kyogre and prepares to unleash its powers over the world's water levels. A Blue Orb possessed Pikachu releases Groudon from its entrapment and the two prepare to take on Kyogre in a battle to end all battles. Will Groudon and Kyogre destroy the world with their legendary battle or will Lance, Ash and his friends be able to stop the world's imminent destruction?
Episode Plot
The events of the episode continue from previous one.
Shelly tells Archie that Kyogre has been released, with Archie replying that he planned that all along. He goes up to the temple and Team Aqua sends Walrein to protect Archie, using Water Gun to attack Team Magma. Team Magma send Mightyena to use Shadow Ball, countering. Tabitha tells a recruit (Lance) to go with Maxie to stop Archie. Max, May and Brock hide to see the event. Team Rocket has blasted off to an edge of a cliff, wanting to be somewhere else.
Archie uses the Red Orb, commanding Kyogre to sink the land. Everyone faces Kyogre's power. Everyone tries to warn him that people are still on the island when the sea will flood it, but with no success. Kyogre makes natural disasters - tornado's and thunderstorms. Lance tells everyone that the orbs were used by people to control their power. The people grew more power hungry, so the orbs were sealed to prevent their miss-usage. Maxie tells Lance that only the weak can be possessed by the orbs, though Lance denies those facts. Ash watches over Pikachu, but soon an earthquake makes them fall to ground. Pikachu wakes up, and being possessed by the orb, goes away.
As Brock, May and Max go to find Ash, they encounter Lance. Brock and Lance recognize each other. Ash appears behind the hole of the plane, telling them that Pikachu disappeared. Soon, they hear Shelly telling the troops to go to the temple, as a giant wave approaches. Lance sends Dragonite to free Ash, using Dragon Claw to make the hole bigger. Lance rides Dragonite to get the Red Orb while the gang goes after Pikachu. Tabitha spots the gang, being ordered to get them. Shelly tells her fellow members to stay put until she gets Archie. Lance demands the Orb, but naturally, Archie refuses. Archie uses the Orb, ordering Kyogre to attack Lance. Dragonite evades and Lance's Gyarados uses Hyper Beam, but Kyogre uses Hyper Beam as well, negating both attacks.
The Orb is being absorbed into Archie, possessing him. James wants to go away, but Jessie reminds Meowth and him that they can still capture Groudon. They go to the place where Groudon is, but locked. Meowth thinks that if they were to anger Kyogre, it would attack them using the wave. Next, the wave would push Team Rocket on the submarine with Groudon inside and everyone is happy. However, they are struck by Pikachu's attack. The gang goes after him, but Pikachu jumps to the place where Groudon is. Team Rocket attempts to capture Pikachu, but are being blasted off by his attack. With Pikachu's power and the lightning it struck, Groudon feels the attack and awakens. The building blasts.
Everyone witnesses the eruption of a volcano. Groudon awakens, stopping the thunderstorm. Pikachu jumps onto Groudon's head, revealing the gang. Kyogre attacks Groudon, making the waves. Max thinks they should go to higher level, but Brock thinks that the wave will flood the island and Groudon as well. Groudon attacks the waves with Solar Beam, stopping them. Lance goes to the gang realizing that Groudon wants to stop Kyogre, as the orb absorbed into Pikachu was made to force him to help it. Lance tells them to go away, but Ash needs to stay behind to get Pikachu first. By that, Brock, Max and May decide to stay to help Ash. Kyogre attacks with Hydro Pump, but Pikachu stops it with Thunderbolt. Lance plans so that Ash comes with him and the others on his Gyarados, waiting an opportunity to get Pikachu back.
Groudon uses Solar Beam against Kyogre, hurting it. Kyogre pulls Groudon to the water. However, Groudon comes back, retaliating with Mud Shot against Kyogre's Hyper Beam. May sends Beautifly and Brock his Mudkip. Mudkip uses Water Gun and Beautifly Silver Wind, attacking Archie. Kyogre (with Archie's order) goes after them, so Gyarados (with Brock, May and Max on it) goes away. Groudon uses Solar Beam, hurting Kyogre and stopping the waves. Kyogre is severely wounded, so the Red Orb leaves Archie's body. Archie falls, but Dragonite captures him in time. The Blue Orb leaves Pikachu's body as well. Pikachu falls down, so Ash goes after him. However, Kyogre goes after them. Shelly tends to Archie, and soon Archie gains consciousness. Ash appears on Kyogre, who did not attack him. Pikachu regains consciousness as well.
The two Orbs go up in the air, merging and vanishing. Groudon goes to the volcano and Kyogre to the depths of the sea. Lance tells them that the legend repeated - Kyogre and Groudon made the world again. The Orbs were vanished, marking that Nature cannot be controlled. Ash wonders if he'll see Groudon and Kyogre once more...

By Fareed Zakaria
In the midst of the extraordinary spectacle of Nelson Mandela's funeral – in a stadium with some 90,000 mourners, including more than 90 heads of government – a small gesture caught the world's attention. President Barack Obama moved to greet Dilma Rousseff, the president of Brazil. On his way, he shook hands with the person to Rousseff's right. The photograph of that handshake ricocheted around the world. Understandably, because the man Obama shook hands with was Raul Castro, president of Cuba.
Remember, the United States does not have diplomatic relations with Cuba, and has a tight trade embargo in place against the island nation. So, many wondered whether this handshake was the beginning of a great shift in policy.
I hope so. Let's begin by asking whether the existing policy is working. In 1960, the United States enacted an embargo against Cuba. Its purpose was simple and explicit: regime change. Did it work? Well, until he retired from the presidency in 2008, Fidel Castro was the longest serving head of government in the world. Surely that's about as powerful evidence as one can get that the policy did not work and is not working.
The truth is that Cuba's miserable economy is almost entirely its own fault. The Castro regime has coupled political repression with communist economic policies and the result, predictably, has been total failure and stagnation. But things are changing in Cuba. The government has been experimenting with opening up elements of the economy. By some estimates about 20 percent of the Cuban economy is now in the private sector.
The best path forward for Washington is one that has been recommended by many experts, from Jorge Casteneda, the former Mexican foreign minister to Human Rights Watch. The United States should shift from a policy of regime change in Cuba, which has not worked, to one that promotes reform and human rights aggressively.
President Obama should offer the Cuban government a series of steps that would relax restrictions on trade and travel with Cuba – but only if they are matched by real economic and political reforms in Cuba. Let the Cuban people know, for example, that if its government were to free all political prisoners, the United States would be willing to relax the embargo.
Americans should have greater faith in the power of markets, trade and travel to eat away at the Cuban dictatorship, strengthen Cuban civil society, including private business, and thus change the character of the country. Washington has tried isolation, sanctions, and embargoes against Cuba for more than five decades with dismal results. Why not try capitalism for five years?
The Cubans on the island don't have guns. Castro made sure he confiscated every weapon on that island. You can't have a revolution without guns. The people are stuck. Have been and always will be since they've been disarmed for 50 years.
folks if the embargo is removed foreign banks will expand financial services, and private jobs will be created. The thing with mr gross's encarceration is that he violated their laws. Wether you agree or not with the cause, its a fact that he deliberatelly violated importation laws.Same principle with chineese, russian or any foreign laws, if a person violates them they will go to jail in those countries.
if everyone would read, they would now that now small businesses can have a few employees, and that now small loans are available for start upts and expansion, through the state bank. Also now state wholesellers are sprouting up to supply the growing private sector, which is now 20 percent. with no embargo and sanctions, foreign banks would be free to expand financial services, therefore creating more private jobs.
The pope would not agree with you. He feels capitalism is a menace and in the redistribution of wealth, like Obammy. So, let Cuba alone, and let their people share their own wealth and rot in hell.
ITS awrong policy its not working the only thing is hurting the ordinary people in cuba the big example is mr castro in power try to compre the people in cuba and the rest of latin america i went to republic dominica and i see in my eyes and i spoke with people thre mostof the teacher tere come from cuba doctors so if you compare the system between these two country you find out that the peopl in cuba is better MORE EDUCATED MRE EALTHY by the way all young kids in cuba are obige to go to school
The U.S. should get over it, lift all embargos now so that the people of Cuba can have a better life. The heads of government of any country will always lead a life much better than their citizens so forget about Castro.
Trade, sports and tourism should be our coal with Cuba.
A second thought, no fast food business should be allowed in as most of us know what that does to a nation.......yoooo fatso.
One just has to look closely at what the infamous Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse Dung did to China, over a 26 year period, from 1949 thru 1975, to understand how a misguided, violent, paranoid nutcase can cause an entire nation to be "held back" in terms of real progress over a long period of being held within the "grip" of a tyrant! So multiply that by x2, to get 52 years, and you have the equally wonderful communist debacle of the misguided, violent, paranoid nutcase Fidel Castro holding back Cuba......... and the entire world has indeed noticed what happened to China over the last 26 years, after they threw of their communist tyrant "yoke" and cleverly morphed into a Capitalist Nation with a mere veneer of Communism........ maybe Cuba can learn from the story of China, and release itself from its Castro cancer.......... I mean, really........... 🙂
The monster was created by the single minded American view, right after Batista was kicked out Fidel tried to get a deal with the US, and was given with door on his face, so he searched help somewhere else, the same situation applies to the moderates in Iran, the moderates in Iraq, South America etc..
The best way out is to reach to them negotiate and compromise on a deal, as your own president said "the notion we are not going to talk to them is ridicules""
Fidel Castro's regime never even approached the totalitarianism of Mao Zedong. You know nothing of history
What does Freed's as an Indian have to say about the recent arrest of Indian Diplomat's arrest in New York?
She deserved it. Period. Just because a person has "diplomatic" status, granted by holding a "A1" visa, certainly does NOT give them the right to exploit anybody, especially hiring their own "Indian" nannies and paying them slave wages....... shame on her.........
Fareed you are a knowledgable,intelligent man do you honestly think U.S. policy on Cuba is about "regime change" ? Or things like human rights what have you? No it is about economically strangling a communist state that if succesful could act as an example to others.Creating a "domino effect".
What domino effect are you referring to? Just talk to them make compromises and forge a deal, no drama and give the Castro's a way out, and you have a win win situation, just remember, the US is the only country not doing business in Cuba.
The U.S. did Marshall aid after WW2 not because Americans were so concerned with European well being the problem was Eastern Europe was developing and rebuilding faster then the West giving people bad ideas.Vietnam they bombed and poisoned and they installed dictators all around to prevent the "virus" from spreading.This policy continues all over the place.Look at Iran , there the problem isnt that Teheran is a brutal theocracy,Saudi Arabia is worse,the problem is they do not follow orders from Washington, succesful defiance of Washington means potential loss of the energy reserves of the M.E. as people take matters into there own hands.
I think that US should give a chance to Cuba by lifting the embargos , Fareed Zakaria should shut his mouth and see the fact that capitalism is the system which creates hunger , not communism.
That's why 3 million Russians desperately migrated to America since 1990, because they love Russia so much and hate America so much????? Fareed Zakaria has proven himself to be a very smart and extremely well read Harvard Graduate, who talks and walks with Kings, Presidents, very smart people, leaders and experts, constantly, and has a superb insight on a zillion subjects!!!!!!! When you get invited to give the Commencement Address at Harvard, like Fareed, then we will shut our mouths and listen to you..........
I disagree, if we had not held to the sanctions and gave up after a few months or year, the threat of them is diminished When used against other nations like N. Korea, Sudan or even more recently Iran they do give other regimes reason to pause even if the results are somewhat mxed. If we gave up sanctions simply because we got bored of them; it's one less arrow in our quiver.
Hello?? Did you not read that Castro DOES NOT want Americans to intrude and change anything. Don't you get it??
Blow away, windy spirit. Half the nations on Planet Earth do not want America to interfere or mess with their world....... America does so anyway...... to its own benefit......... In the case of Cuba, it was to our mutual detriment to embargo & sanction Cuba. Being an island only 90 miles from Florida, you bet we have to play poker with them........ Castro pulled out the Russian card 50 years ago, to his own benefit....... but his people wallow in poverty........ Fareed's point is well intentioned....... by opening up Cuba to Capitalism, both nations could benefit......
["Civilian businesses" better than "capitalism"]
Comparison between the US and Cuba; the US has higher incarceration rate than Cuba, 2.2 million US citizens are put in crowded US jails, it is about half of world prisoners. The US government, immoral media and fake right groups kill 100,000 innocent Iraqis, 4500 US soldiers and 76,000 sinless Syrian; thus Cuba has a better record on human right than corrupt US.
However, the socialism is a wrong ideology, it is no work on economy obviously; maybe just emphasize the importance of "civil businesses" that is enough than capitalism. Cuba will change and is changing; they will choice their own way.
I my eyes your are correct, socialism in the raw state is unsustainable and inefficient, however Capitalism with a strong safety net is much better than either system in the raw state..
I think we do need to work with a neighboring country as Cuba. I think it benefits both countries and creates economic profits for both sides. If Cuba can go by rules and promote healthy values I am for it.
Fareed noted that sanctions have not worked. What he failed to mention is the less than savory aspects of American/Cuba relations that have not worked either. The sponsored invasion of Cuba (Bay of Pigs). The attempted murder of their head of state (poison cigars no less) and on-going attempts at de-stabilization. This unwillingness to talk about the less than flattering aspects of US foreign interventions is a common thread in US talk shows. The result is that the American audience – the target audience – is less well informed than everyone living outside the US. It is unfortunate and unproductive. How can people understand the relationship with foreign states if they only see one side. The sunny side no less.

Great comment! Yes indeed, we Americans are so used to watching the "Soap Opera" of human behavior on Planet Earth unfold thru the eyes of our own biased perspective........... if only we could understand that we actually wrote the book on terrorism........... ........ when will we understand that since 1491 AD, us Europeans have been sailing our ships to every country that we could sail to, murdered over half the "natives" in those countries. put our flags on their soil, and proclaimed that we now "owned" the place............ which makes us "white people" the worst terrorists on Planet Earth by far............... 😦
opening up trade and lifting embargo BEFORE regime change enough(like releasing political prisoners, allowing multi-partisan system etc) will only strengthen the oppressive communist regime, not weaken it. proof–China. and as for the supposedly 'failed' policy–excuse me, it has more holes that Swiss cheese! thousand of American go to Cuba every year via Canada, Mexico and other countries; besides the embargo is US only, it's not been supported by the rest of free world; plus Cuba for decades got aid first from USSR, then from Chavez's Venezuela; plus we have on many occasions shown weakness in critical situations, such as refugee crisis 0f '95, or the Elian Gonzalez story. Not to mention that CIA has for like 40 yrs been banned from attempts to assassinate 'legitimate' national leaders. those are all the reasons why Castro regime is still in place, in other words it's not the embargo, it's lack thereof. let Raul release political prisoners and allow free elections in his country–then i'll approve of Obama shaking hands with him; cause then there'll be no reason not to
by the way, Mandela should really be a hint and inspiration for the Castros, because Mandela understood, after coming to power, the necessity of keeping what was good in the previous system of his country, and adopting it to the new reality. that's why RSA has been a beacon of growth in Africa, whereas Cuba for over half century has been a hellhole, even though once it was a beaming and burgeoning place
Castro told America long ago that socialism is the key to solve US problems. Obama is his favorite.
The Cubans can't revolt because "they don't have guns"? Jesus Christ way stupidity. I'm sure people in eastern Europe and Russia were loaded, right? The gun nuts have totally lost touch with reality.
When we as Americans think of Cuban economy as being a communist government that represses, it citizen's and that is far from the truth there are many things that Cuba, has given to the United States of America and to the rest of the world from great salsa music musician's to producing world class baseball players who play for the New York Yankees. Cuba also a world health care system that comes close to the United States of America health care system, and also the great Cuban American salsa singer Gloria Estefan came from that country and gave us great salsa music. Cuba will benefit from having a mixed capitalism government, which allows business and the people to share the wealth of what they make for their country and to have pride in what they earn. As an American who has been to Cuba on vacation, the people always tell they long for the day's to be free and to earn a descent living like the people in America when talking over a cup of coffee in a café while watching a baseball game on the television. As Americans we live in a country that believes every American has the right to earn a descent wage, to support his or her family and to send our kids to the best colleges so they can earn that college certificate make America one of the best country's to work in. Without Cuba having a mixed capitalism economy like the good old USA does, will they their citizen's find success like Americans experience in their daily lives or will the communist party rule the people like an iron fist for years to come.

Myths About Drugs and Booze In the Creative Process Have Been Perpetuated By People Who Should Know Better
Originally published in Seattle Weekly
Let's be honest: Drinking alcohol and taking drugs is fun. Unfortunately, in America there's a culturally ingrained fear of mentioning this obvious fact, and that obscures and garbles every attempt at rational conversation on the topic. Drug advocates are forced into the posture of arguing that marijuana is some kind of anti-anxiety and glaucoma medicine. Drinking and recreational drug use are only referred to in the national press in terms of a public-health crisis. This hysteria around the topic of getting high--the equating of all drug use with addiction and abuse--is one of the primary sources of the credibility gap that divides what we call "alternative" culture from "mainstream" culture.
Within the music community, getting high is a kind of shorthand for all the ways we're different from the high-collared moralizers on the other side of the cultural wall. The fact that drugs and alcohol are openly consumed and freely discussed within the music scene contributes to musicians' sense of themselves as more liberated, more honest. Still, the fact that drugs are a taboo subject in the culture at large imbues them with a false mystique even among people who should know better.
Musicians, of all people, are in a position to have a clear-eyed and unromantic perception of drugs. We're surrounded by them, and by people who are strung out on them. We confront drunks and tweakers and zombies on a daily basis, both on and offstage. You would think there'd be no mystery left.
But the music world is where mythologizers of drugs and alcohol find their last and safest refuge. People shake their heads ruefully at the fate of Layne Staley or Elliott Smith, but earlier this year a talented young Seattle artist, clearly struggling with alcoholism, was promoted by his own management as "elegantly wasted," as though puking up blood was one more reason to buy his album. Likewise, a few veteran musicians around town, beloved by all, routinely drink themselves into a puddle, as their friends and former bandmates edge away from them as the night wears on. Getting high is woven into the fabric of making art, of being young and chasing outsized dreams, but when it gets ugly, when it turns to darkness, musicians and band managers are no better than codependent housewives in owning up to the consequences. Everyone wants to bask in the reflected heat of a young star burning too hot, and no one wants to appear to judge when the flame-out follows. The line between "partying hard" and "falling down" is never easy to gauge, and a simple statement of fact like "Friend, you're too fucked up to drive" can be a deceptively difficult thing to say. But this is an area where musicians need to toughen up. Drunk driving, or overdosing, isn't cute, and calling bullshit on them isn't being judgmental, it's good manners.
One of the first and most common tropes about drugs is that they fuel creativity. I don't think there's any way to argue, at least initially, that they don't. A person's first experience with smoking pot or taking a psychotropic substance is, under most circumstances, accurately and best described as mind-expanding. Colors and sounds, newly fascinating, are the stuff from which art is made. I spent many hours as a stoned young man mesmerized by the simple, repetitive act of strumming my guitar, a scene easily mocked--stupid hippy, droning away on the three chords he knows, entranced by the mundane--but an overwhelmingly positive experience for me at the time. I bonded with the guitar partly by hearing it in the mildly euphoric state brought on by drugs, and that euphoria was easy to recapture after the drugs wore off. It wasn't a hallucination of something unreal, it was a perception of something that was true, something that might have escaped my attention without the aid of drugs, and something I could find again once I knew the way.
The idea that drugs fuel creativity is nothing new. The same can be said of almost any new experience or recognition of a new reality. But like anything perception-altering--love, adrenaline, or being a U.S. Senator--the effect dulls with time. The feeling you never thought you'd get tired of, eventually you get tired of. And unlike love, there are only so many ways you can reinvent the experience of taking drugs--eventually it boils down to the fact that you're just taking more drugs and stronger drugs, chasing the dragon. Drugs do fuel creativity, but being addicted to drugs, and especially dying from drugs, doesn't.
It's very hard to discuss this rationally or honestly with either drug users or drug prohibitionists. The equation of taking drugs with moral failure remains strong, yet drugs also have an unmatched countercultural cachet. In a country where political repression seldom affects the painter or guitar player, the cynical criminalization of drugs fosters a sense of exclusivity and resistance to authority among drug takers. When writers and poets in communist Czechoslovakia were being monitored by secret police, it fostered an explosive artistic movement. Writers and poets in America can only dream about being singled out for political repression (it might lead to sales, for God's sake!), but it is possible to get busted for $20 worth of pot. The sense of injustice at patently ludicrous laws, despite much lower stakes, is enough to give artists the persecuted feeling they crave. The mysterious air that results, the sense that drug-taking is anti-authoritarian, clouds the discussion of the real effects of drugs and alcohol even among those with first-hand experience.
Most people who get drunk and high do so without creating much of a problem--at least not a problem that requires military intervention and lengthy prison terms--so drug use clearly falls into the category of things that adults should be allowed to decide for themselves. Drugs, like alcohol, can be used responsibly. As an entertainer I know both those who have every privilege and those raised in abuse and poverty, and I can say with complete confidence that there is no profile for who will get addicted to drugs and who won't. Friends who have suffered through such diabolical childhoods that I choke when I think of them did nonetheless not become drug addicts or alcoholics, just as friends from loving, wealthy, supportive homes have died on the street from overdoses. There's no predicting it. Likewise, despite our almost constant access to drugs and alcohol, I don't think musicians and entertainers are any likelier to become addicts than your average citizen is. The world is full of junkie lawyers and drunk accountants, and believe me, the global drug trade is not being kept afloat by guitarists and their girlfriends. There may be more alcoholic guitarists than alcoholic ministers, but fewer guitarists are pedophiles, so it evens out.
As to whether drugs play a crucial role in creativity--well, I can think of no more destructive idea in music. For every good musical idea spawned in a drug-induced state, a dozen drunks and junkies are justifying their habits with the same lame excuse. Some of the edgiest performers I know never touch drugs, and some of the most boring performers I know swear by them. If anyone really holds to the idea that drugs play a central role in art-making, I would direct their attention to the collected work of Stone Temple Pilots. Drugs can be inspirational, yes--but after the inspiration wears off, the hard work of making art often has no worse enemy than the pipe or the bottle.
I've been straight for over 15 years. I like to joke that we all get an allotment of drugs and booze to last a lifetime, and I used all mine before I was 26. I'm not sad at the way things turned out, because being forced to choose a kind of cold-turkey existence has made my life dramatically better.
My 15 years of being clean has coincided with my 15 years playing music in Seattle, and I've seen every kind of melodramatic drug scene you can imagine, with new ones every day. The tragedies to me aren't the ones who die young. Life has a full complement of people who die young. The tragedies are the ones who slowly ebb, in thrall to the idea that drugs and alcohol are their friends and spiritual guides. Watching their art decline, replaced by bitterness or resignation, while they cling to their habits with the unyielding conviction that getting high is what sets them apart from the masses: That's a kind of dying that's hard to witness.

The best thing about cargo is that nearly everything you see around you used to or will be cargo in the eyes or marine insurer. In fact, it is very difficult to define cargo as it is basically anything, which is loaded into any mean of transport and is accordingly transported from one place to the another. Funny enough, but marine underwriters decided that goods on storage and even during exhibitions are not property, but indeed cargo.
When it comes to us, we can offer any possible way of cargo insurance from single shipment policy to highly complex open contract covering all cargo in all destinations during certain period of time. Despite the fact that the book of cargo insurance conditions is as thick as Tolkien's "Lord of the rings" there are two basic principles of how to insure your cargo, namely:
You may know that we are not only always trying to understand our clients' logistics details and work out best possible insurance solution, but also ensure that your claims (touch wood that these would never happen) are handled in a professional way. We have network of experts, lawyers and surveyors all over the world and they are at client's disposal at all major ports and cities and they are available 24 hours a day.
And, of course, we will never forget our freight forwarding friends, who can enjoy our internet based cargo insurance declaration system, which allows them to provide additional cargo insurance service for their customers 24/7.

Mims: Research shows Texas is not warming
In the early days of this column, concerned readers sent many questions about the earth's ozone layer, which I began measuring in 1990. Today, public interest in the ozone layer has been replaced by concern about global warming.
Answering questions about global warming requires considerably more space than this 437-word column. So let's focus in on the temperature history of Texas for now.
The 2011 Texas drought was exacerbated by the highest temperatures since 1895 during June, July and August. Several prominent climate scientists have blamed these record highs on global warming. These claims are puzzling because, in spite of the 2011 record highs, Texas records going back more than a century show slightly more cooling than warming. So I visited the National Climatic Data Center website to review Texas temperature records. The NCDC provides monthly temperature records for 10 Texas regions going back to 1895.
It also provides the average temperature for the entire state. (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/temp-and-precip/time-series/index.php?parameter=tmp&month=1&year=2011&filter= 1&state=41&div=0)
I retrieved all 12 months of data for each year since 1895 and plotted the average annual temperatures on a chart along with their trend. As shown in the chart, the average temperature of Texas barely changed between 1895 and 2011. The total warming during those 116 years was a statistically insignificant 0.046 degree Fahrenheit. If the record highs of 2011 are omitted, Texas cooled 0.055 degree from 1895 to 2010.
The NCDC temperature data do not fully account for the enhanced warming of weather stations that have become surrounded by buildings and pavement. This is the heat island effect. Dr. Daniel Boice of the Southwest Research Foundation studied the temperature at New Braunfels and San Antonio from 1946 to 1990. (www.swri.org/3pubs/ttoday/fall97/heat.htm)
He found that San Antonio has warmed when compared with its smaller neighbor. San Antonio might be several degrees cooler today than in 1885 if no new buildings and roads had been constructed. Why do some scientists insist that Texas is warming when the data show a negligible increase? I don't know. But I do know that a National Science Foundation program officer told me that applications for atmospheric science grants that do not include a global warming theme stand little chance of acceptance.
Climate scientists are right to be concerned about droughts, especially since no Texas drought since precipitation records were begun around 1870 matches the megadroughts revealed in the rings of bald cypress trees. Those droughts occurred hundreds of years before SUVs and power plants began pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, a process blamed for global warming that has not yet arrived in Texas.

Local government representatives in an Ohio town have taken it upon themselves to prohibit a Tea Party celebration of the US Constitution, prompting a lawsuit over restrictions on First Amendment rights.
Members of the Andover Tea Party in Ohio have been informed that they cannot hold a public rally in the Town's central square on Constitution Day (September 17) because of the group's "political affiliation".
The decision was taken by the Township's trustees, and members of the Tea Party group were informed by letter that they would not be able to use the square for speakers and performances of patriotic songs.
Township officials informed the residents that speech at the Constitution Day rally could be of a "political nature," and thus inappropriate for the public square, writes the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, a nonpartisan, non profit law group that has filed a complaint and temporary restraining order against Andover Township (Ashtabula County) in U.S. District Court in Cleveland.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
In the complaint, 1851 Center Executive Director Maurice Thompson writes, "It cannot be contested or doubted that the speech in which Plaintiffs seek to engage—honoring and discussing the fundamental law of this nation, i.e., the Constitution—is at the core of the speech protected by the First Amendment. And no venue could further reinforce such message as doing so in the center and heart of the community."
"In this case, the communicative nature of Plaintiffs' proposed activities, as well as the selection of the venue for such speech, is indisputably protected by the First Amendment." Thompson adds.
A copy of the complaint and temporary restraining order are available here and here.
"The government's action in this case, ironically, demonstrates the need for greater public understanding of Constitutional rights," Thompson added in a written statement. "One way to do that is through commemoration of Constitution Day."
In an interview with CNS News, Thompson elaborated on the case:
"The first thing that you note is the extreme irony of the unconstitutional prohibition of the commemoration of the Constitution."

"[A]nd the second thing that's notable is either the extreme arrogance or ignorance of many local government officials. There's so much focus on federal government, yet some of the worst actors are at the ground level," Thompson said.
A ruling is expected to be made on the case in the next 24 hours.

Developer Staffing Survey: Needs Outstrip Supply, September 04, 2012 An InformationWeek survey shows IT managers expect that developers with the needed skills will be hard to find for a while yet.
Two years from now: Contractors will represent only 25% of the solution.
Most sites expect that two years from now, their existing developers and newly hired employees will be able to address their software development needs. Only one-quarter of organizations expect to be using contractors to address this need. This set of responses strikes me as hopelessly optimistic. It seems to assume that the rate of change will slow down and that the shortage of skills shown in earlier slides will be filled by the "then" staff. If anything, we've learned that the rate of change rarely slows, so that in two years' time, the staff might well have the skills needed for technologies adopted today, but it's unlikely they'll have what they need for technologies to be adopted then.

Punchin' the munchkin may have once been believed to cause blindness and insanity, but a new study suggests that masturbation may actually have a fistful of health benefits.
According to researchers from the University of Sydney, wrestling the old bald headed champ is a fun way to ward off a variety of illness, including cystitis, diabetes and prostate cancer.
Scientist Anthony Santella and Chenoa Cooper say that nearly 94% of men admit to bopping the bologna, while only 85% of women have as much candor about waxing the meat curtains. Shockingly, the two say that chocking the chicken is something that even infants do from time to time while waiting to be born… we call that whacking in the womb.
"For women, masturbation can help prevent cervical infections and urinary tract infections through the process of "tenting," or the opening of the cervix that occurs as part of the arousal process," as stated in a recent academic journal called The Conversation. 'Tenting stretches the cervix, and thus the cervical mucous. This enables fluid circulation, allowing cervical fluids full of bacteria to be flushed out."
Researchers say that pounding the flounder is also an excellent way to "lower the risk of type-2 diabetes (though this association may also be explained by greater overall health), reduce insomnia through hormonal and tension release, and increase pelvic floor strength through the contractions that happen during orgasm."
Fisting the old mister is even believed to fight cancer. In fact, some studies indicate that men that have sex more frequently are at a lower risk for developing prostate cancer. This phenomenon is thought to be caused by ejaculation banishing toxins from the prostate gland.
Masturbating on a regular basis can be better for a person's daily quality of life than prescription medication because researchers say it is "the most convenient method for maximizing orgasms' - and that people who orgasm regularly have 'reduced stress, reduced blood pressure, increased self-esteem, and reduced pain."
Well, rosy palms, what are you waiting for? Go polish the rocket and get yourself healthy!

Read here from Greg Bedard at jsonline for the full transcript. Interesting. I'm still pretty comfortable with my last post – I think a deal is essentially done and some details are just being ironed out. Bedard appears to have picked up on a Favre slip during the interview. Read here (Bedard's boldface):
"Well, once again, it is like the terminology with the offense, it makes a lot of sense because the pieces are in place. They do have a great running back. They have a great running game. If I go there, I mean there's no guarantees. We all know that. I went through that last year with New York. I would like to think that, I think every player should think that he is a difference maker. I think you have to believe that. But in that situation, knowing what is expected of you, knowing your team, knowing as long as we can run the ball, and complete passes when needed, we should be pretty good."
I'd say this use of "we" coupled with his rather detailed rationale for playing for the Vikes (because of their offense), gives away the fact that the depth of discussions has gone well beyond the very limited discussion Favre describes when he says: "have talked with the Vikings. Nothing other than, 'Are you interested?' Vice versa". I don't believe Favre here. I think he's talked in depth with Childress and more so with Darrell Bevell and in the process, they easily persuaded him to join the Vikes. I also wouldn't be surprised if we eventually learn that Ryan Longwell has been a factor, a quieter factor, but still a factor.
The fact that Favre went ahead with the surgery seemed to strike me more after reading this interview than after I learned he had the surgery a few weeks ago. I know this is quite an obvious point and I know many others said the same thing once news broke that he had the surgery. But reading his words from this interview made me realize for some reason that for a guy who would prefer to simply show up game day and not do anything else (train in the offseason, participate in OTAs, have surgeries, rehab himself), it's not a small decision to have surgery at almost 40 years old to prolong an NFL career. In Favre's case in particular, this simply HAS to mean that the guy had decided to commit himself to return to the game PRIOR to having the surgery – or else he wouldn't have gone ahead with the surgery. Period. And, I'd even go so far as saying the Vikes/Favre aren't going to be picky if Favre's arm is only 80% of what it was. I still think the real reason for any delay is due to the Vikes running into the other facet of the Brett Favre Experience that gives everyone a headache: Bus Cook.

Joyce began writing poetry when she was nine. Jim scribbled a little, but mostly read a lot. We decided to work together on a series of stories we told our children to amuse them after Hurricane Hugo hit our house in 1989. Without power or water for weeks, we needed something!
We started writing novels together after that and are still going strong! We also enjoy writing non-fiction about the people we meet in our travels. Ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things with their lives, like the characters we write in our novels.
As for our personal lives, we have three wonderful children, Chris, Jeni and Emmie as well as two fantastic grandchildren, Eric and Gabrielle. We love cats and have too many of them. We have a chocolate Lab named Bear. Jim is into computers, photography and line drawing. Joyce is active in sculpting, alternative medicine and water color painting.
All of our books are purposely written to be vegetarian and inspiring. We believe that we all have a journey that leads to the discovery of ourselves; our ultimate destiny.

The reason behind the delay to the Acer Iconia Tab A100 may be OS compatibility, according to industry insiders.
It seems that Acer is having a bit of trouble getting Android 3.0 to work properly with the 7-inch display, because Honeycomb was designed for a 10-inch screen.
What's more, applications are proving a bit of a pain, with many Honeycomb apps "incompatible" with the 7-inch device.
Bit of a wait
The same problems are likely to abound for HTC, which promises an imminent Honeycomb update to the 7-inch HTC Flyer, currently running Android 2.3.
Iconia Tab A100 fans will be left waiting until August or September for Acer to iron out these issues.
It's not been a great month for Acer; the company has also had to delay the 5-inch Iconia Smart Android handset until July, although that's thought to be down to component shortages rather than any Android issues.

Sheer heaven on a stick! A sweet treat of pure hot chocolate and fine caramel !
Choc-o-lait, the perfect creation for all those out there who love real hot chocolate, was created in early 2004. As with most great ideas, the concept is simplicity itself: a wooden stick with a block of real Belgian chocolate on the end. Stir for a minute in a mug of hot milk (80°C) and there you have it – the tastiest hot chocolate you could ever wish for.
The world is melting away for Choc-o-lait, the pioneer of chocolate sticks. How about you?

| 11.4°C Belfast
Photographs of Hollywood stars found in a dusty old filing cabinet are to be exhibited for the first time.
Thousands of images, including pictures of Audrey Hepburn and Dirk Bogarde, taken by photographer George Douglas were discovered at his Brighton home by neighbour and fellow photographer Roger Bamber, who inherited the property following his friend's death.
The negatives, which had not seen the light of day for years, include images from the 1940s to the 1960s of Gary Cooper, former US president Harry Truman, Roger Moore and Peter Sellers.
There are also social and historical images of the period, including the Queen's rat-catcher and Britain's first female chimney sweep, Mr Bamber said.
Just 30 pictures from the archive will go on display at Mr Douglas's former home in Sillwood Road as part of the Artists Open Houses festival in May.
Photographer Nigel Swallow, who is now living in the property, said he is expecting it to take him at least a year for himself and Mr Bamber to sort through the photographs, and that he has taken advice as to how it can be properly archived.
Mr Swallow said: "It's something that should be taken very good care of and I am chuffed that I have been asked to look after the archive.
"The first priority is making sure we preserve George's work."
Mr Douglas, whose nickname was Speedy George due to his fast-paced work ethic, worked for many years at Picture Post magazine.
He spent much of his time in California, but would spend his summers in Brighton, Mr Bamber said.
He retired to live in his house full-time in 2007 until his death in December 2010 at the age of 88, he continued.
Mr Bamber said Mr Douglas, who was born in Rottingdean, East Sussex, but moved to Dallas, Texas, in 1939, trained in aeronautical design engineering but his heart was not in it.
He said: "The Leica camera he bought from a pawnshop consumed his spare time and once he had sold his first picture, for 30 US dollars, he handed in his notice.
"He sold his first photographs to the Los Angeles Times in the 1940s and moved to Sun Valley, Idaho, in 1948, where he was in charge of photography for the Sun Valley News Bureau, taking pictures of famous visitors including Gary Cooper and President Harry Truman.
"In 1949 he moved back to LA and began his career as a celebrity photographer with a picture of Angela Lansbury for Life magazine.
"But it was an English magazine that intrigued him. He noticed that Life photographers he admired had trained in London on the Picture Post, which specialised in 35mm photography and a documentary style.
"He set off for England in 1950. A set of pictures of two children with their pet boa constrictor got him through the door and became the first of many assignments he undertook for Picture Post.
"He fell 'more than a little in love' with Audrey Hepburn when he spent a fortnight photographing her in New York as she prepared for the Broadway production of Gigi, and became friends with the novelist Paul Gallico and the actor Peter Sellers."
Picture Post closed in 1957 and George turned to women's magazines and the TV Mirror, Mr Bamber said.
He went on: "In 1964, the Beatles asked him to become their photographer on the set of A Hard Day's Night.
"Paul McCartney had been impressed by George's portraits of his then girlfriend Jane Asher; but two weeks at the Twickenham Studios besieged by screaming teenagers was enough to persuade George that he was not cut out for pop photography."

I have a piece of code that looks like this
Basically, I have a Customer class and the Customer selects from a list of offers from a vector which is defined inside the Customer class.
Now the setCurrentContract method is defined in the Customer Class as:Code:for (vector<Customer>::iterator CIt = i_CustomersList.begin(); CIt != i_CustomersList.end(); CIt++) { for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { Offer Contract = CIt->selectOffer(i); //Contract.display(); cout<<endl; CIt->setCurrentContract(Contract,i); } }
c_Contract is declared thusCode:void setCurrentContract(Offer ContractOffer, int ProdIndex) { cout<<endl<<"***************************************"<<endl; cout<<endl<<"Displaying from set Curr. Contr. method"<<endl; c_Contract[ProdIndex] = &ContractOffer; c_Contract[ProdIndex]->display(); cout<<endl<<endl; //cout<<endl<<"Selected"<<endl; }
Now when I am printing the offers from the setCurrentContract method as shown above the correct contracts are being output.Code:Offer * c_Contract[3]
However, when I am trying to do this:
only the last offer is output for all the contracts.Code:for (vector<Customer>::iterator CIt = i_CustomersList.begin(); CIt != i_CustomersList.end(); CIt++) { for (int i = 0; i<3;i++) {CIt->displayContracts();} }
the displayContracts method is :
Probably something funny is going on while assigning the contracts under the c_Contracts variable. Please help.Code:void displayContracts() { for( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) { cout<<endl<<"ProdIndex"<<i<<endl; if( c_Contract[i] != NULL ) {c_Contract[i]->display();} else {cout<<endl<<"No Contract for ProdIndex: "<<i;} } }

Nevada employers billed to refill unemployment fund
Nevada employers will soon be billed an average of $25 per employee per year to cover interest on loans taken to pay out jobless benefits.
The temporary fees come after the Legislature approved a plan to pay about $17 million in interest owed on loans from the federal government.
Administrator Renee Olson of the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation says the current balance on those loans is about $560 million.
Employers contribute to the state's unemployment trust fund, which is used to pay regular unemployment benefits. But when Nevada's economy tanked during the recession, the estimated $800 million in the account was quickly depleted.
Olson says Nevada has been borrowing money from the federal government since October 2009 to help pay regular unemployment benefits.

Pasadena, USA, December 17, 2012 – The European Patent Office notified Genervon of its intention to grant a European patent on Methods of Treating Neuronal Disorders using MNTF peptides and analogs thereof. Genervon will proceed to have the patents for EPO application No. 07867451.2 issued and bring the portfolio of Genervon's issued Composition of Matters and Use patents to 46.
This patent will grant the intellectual property rights to the use of GM600 in the preparation of a medicament for the therapeutic treatment of neuronal diseases and disorders including stroke, cerebral ischemia, spinal cord injuries (SCI), Huntington's disease (HD), Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Alzheimer's disease by intravenous delivery.
Genervon has discovered a novel endogenous embryonic stage family of 9 human Master Regulators of the Nervous System. The company has developed one of the Master Regulator named GM600, for disease modification in neurodegenerative diseases and for neuroprotection. A Phase 1 clinical trial in human volunteers by bolus intravenous administration was completed and GM600 is very safe and tolerable at very high multiple doses. A GM600 serial number is assigned to each indication. GM602 and GM608 are assigned to ischemic stroke and Parkinson's disease, respectively, which are in Phase 2 Clinical Trials. GM604 is assigned to ALS indication, with promising and comprehensive mechanisms of actions.
GM600 provided neuroprotection against soluble inflammatory factors from CNS human patients' Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) in vitro by the following percent increase of neuronal cells: Stroke (205%), ALS (175%), MS (246%), AD (191%), HD (271%), PD (198%). GM600 has shown very efficacious effects in animal models in many neurodegenerative and acute injuries models.
The discovery of endogenous embryonic stage human master regulators is changing the drug development paradigm from hitting single gene/pathway to a comprehensive and dynamic multi-factorial approach to treat the complex neuro-degenerative diseases. Genervon is at the forefront of a drug development paradigm shift that is beginning to be appreciated.
Genervon Biopharmaceuticals, LLC (www.genervon.com) is an innovative clinical stage biopharmaceutical company providing breakthrough biological drugs for some of the world's critical unmet medical needs.

Together with Giuseppe Bavuso the Italian manufacturer Rimadesio developed this complex and variable shelf system. 'Zenit' is created for every area of the home, characterised by its light and luminous design principles. An exceptionally versatile system that can be arranged as you wish, freeing you from the constraints of "box-like" units and from every functional limitation: each element can be freely positioned in the desired number and at the desired height. In fact, the true fulcrum of the Zenit system is the exclusive module anchoring system thanks to the upright wall-mount rod in aluminium without holes or fixed anchor.
'Zenit' offers a wide range of closet accessories: linear or corner shelves, which can also be lighted, drawer units that can be suspended or on wheels, pullover storage compartments, clothing rods, wardrobe lift, trouser rack, tie holder and belt holder in melamine, white-washed, wengé and white oak.

Since many free‑form modelers are not accurate enough for manufacturing or engineering analysis, and since Rhino is a free‑form modeler, many people assume Rhino is not accurate enough for their application.
In fact, Rhino is just as or even more accurate than most CAD software.
Here are the details:
There are two common methods 3‑D models are stored in computers.
The first method is using meshes (sometimes called faces or facets), which are usually used for rendering, animation, or conceptual design. While mesh modelers often have what appear to be precise techniques for creating models like spheres, boxes, splines, or even NURBS, behind the scenes, they eventually turn everything into a mesh. Meshes are inherently inaccurate because a mesh is simply a collection flat triangles. Even if the surface is curved, a mesh modeler still represents it with flat triangles. This is fine for most renderings, animations, and games, but not when designing for manufacturing. It should be noted that many manufacturing processes use meshes, but the mesh density must be under the control of the manufacturing application to achieve the desired accuracy. Rhino does not use meshes for modeling, but it can convert NURBS to meshes at any density as needed for file exports and rendering.
The second method is NURBS. Most CAD, CAM, CAE, and CAID modelers, including Rhino, represent free‑form shapes as NURBS. Products that use NURBS can potentially represent free‑form shapes accurately enough for the most demanding application if they are diligent in their NURBS implementation. If an application's primary focus is machinery design and not free‑form shapes, it is possible for its NURBS implementation to be less than robust for demanding free‑form modeling. This is typical of the mid-range feature-based parametric solid modelers that are so popular today.
Since Rhino's focus is free‑form NURBS modeling, its NURBS implementation is one of the most robust available today. Here are the primary considerations when evaluating whether a modeler is accurate enough for your application:
Because of the limitation of current computer technology, we expect calculations to be accurate to 15 digits of precision in a range from ±1020 to ±10-20. This limitation is found in all modern CAD products.
Older CAD products often have additional limitations because they were developed originally to run on computers with less precision. For example, many CAD modelers are designed for performing calculations on geometry that is restricted to be in a box of size 1000x1000x1000 meters centered at the origin. (Geek alert: Another popular off-the-shelf modeling kernel requires parameterizations that are within a factor of 10 of being arc-length parameterizations.) Rhino has none of the limitations found in these older products.
If you carefully examine the geometry other modelers produce
from free‑form surface intersections, free‑form fillet creation,
and free‑form surface offsets, you will discover that this free‑form
geometry is actually calculated with accuracy between 10-2
and 10-4 meters even though the precision advertised
is 10-8 (without mentioning that the units are meters).
Other things to consider:
In summary, Rhino is at least as accurate as
any other CAD product on the market today. In addition, Rhino provides
tools for setting accuracy and units and tools for controlling
and evaluating continuity not found in most CAD products.

The old one has been retired.
The bugtracker is now better configured. But noticed: it can not yet display ongoing issues. Thus it fits well for personal and soho use, but here this is a serious limitation.
The new site now under construction using hoist, which is an experimental application, but at least it runs reliably atop of BALL in our setting (nine peers, most of them are small, ARM based plug computers).

Has anyone else used r.stats as a quiet module in a GRASS-python script?
As part of my program I'm using:
grass.run_command("r.stats", flags='l', input=<file>, output=<*.csv file>, fs=',')
I'm using the 'l' flag here to print out category labels. If I change the flags to 'lq' r.stats does not produce the specified *.csv file. If I use the flags as '-q', r.stats runs as a quiet module, but it only creates a *.csv file with one row that describes the category values. For my output, I need both category values and their respective labels.
Any ideas?

I have a ton of pre-cut squares accumulated for different projects. It's all high-quality Moda and other quilting fabrics. It's just that my project list has grown so deep, I decided to pass along some of the projects to others. I grouped the squares in groups of 175-300 squares either by collection or by color. That's enough for a throw-size quilt or a couple of baby quilts.
I made this one for American Quilting last year and had all the fabric to make one for myself. (A lot of the blocks are even pieced already!) But I don't need another girl quilt at the moment, so I'm willing to pass this on to someone else!
I drastically reduced or eliminated the secondary shipping costs, so if you buy more than one thing, the shipping doesn't add up. Feel free to email/convo me with questions!
PS Many thanks again to Martha for making "tag sale" sound so chic. So much better than 'rumage sale.'

Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized least developed countries (LDCs) as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons.
LDCs face more than other countries the risk of deeper poverty and remaining in a situation of underdevelopment. More than 75 per cent of the LDCs' population still live in poverty.
These countries are also characterized by their vulnerability to external economic shocks, natural and man-made disasters and communicable diseases. As such, the LDCs are in need of the highest degree of attention from the international community.
Currently, the 47 LDCs comprise around 880 million people, 12 per cent of the world population, which face severe structural impediments to growth. However, the LDCs account for less than 2 per cent of world GDP and around 1 per cent of world trade.
Four United Nations Conferences on the LDCs were held in: 1981, 1990, 2001 and 2011. The Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries adopted the Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011-2020 - the so-called Istanbul Programme of Action (IPoA).
